My system has the cap on the surge tank where you obviouisly fill the system from. this tank also drains to a lower mounted overflow/recovery tank. On the lower tank there is a nipple on the top. When I add fluid /flush or over fill vs 'normal level' and after spirited driving during hot weather i was getting some spittle / overflow/ bubbling out of the top nipple on lower tank . I added a rubber hose to the nipple and ran it down towards the road tie strapping it to the frame. Now any overflow gets directed to the pavement.

However, when the fluid settled in, all air bubbles etc got cleared out and fluid found its natural 'level', i no longer have any bubbling or spittle etc as the hose at the bottom when checked is bone dry, no evidence of any fluid dripping or spraying out. However, til the fluid settled in , after a drain and refill/ flushing, i had signs of moisture there.

re noises, get the car on a lift ideally and start looking for something loose or broken.. if no lift available from a local shop, then jack stands . i don't like to be under a car on jack stands though. good luck . bill wells, spf 156
